Lapsung is the latest musical incarnation of Brighton based wunderkind Matt Davies - the final, solidified form produced after a fluid search through a plethora of styles, genres and aliases. 

If Lapsung is Davies’ answer to years of musical exploration, then his latest EP, ‘Her Eyes Un’, is his pièce de resistance - a deftly executed and pristine exploration of the sounds that have influenced and shaped him over the years. The EP is a journey in itself; swimming between the likes of trap, r&b, noise and folk music, it explores and exploits disparate styles without ever settling into the boundaries provided by them.

For Davies, this EP has been a perenigration mentally, and he describes it as ‘more real’ than previous works. On ‘Her Eyes Un’, the artist makes a move from dealing with fictious, fantasy based concepts, such as on last year’s self-released ‘L, The Shard’, to dealing with issues and emotions, which, in his own words, “took me from 1 to 100 and back again, multiple times”. 

From the bliss inducing, ethereal melodies of ‘In Your Head’ and ‘Like Snow’ to the chest-rattling, club destroying bassweight of ‘Device’ and ‘Dogwoman’, this EP shows just how deep Lapsung cuts.

8MANA is extremely proud to be releasing this EP, featuring 3 very special remixes from Slugabed, Daisuke Tanabe and MOEGLI.

Skeith’s ravenous desire for music is life-consuming and all-encompassing. Whilst scoring a real world scene in acclaimed documentary series VICE on SHOWTIME, he immersed himself in the digital vastness of the VRChat community, playing for its most notable clubs like Ghostclub and ShelterVRC.

He is obsessed with the human feeling of fun and surrender in music - and most importantly, albums and musical experiences to become immersed in. Skeith’s third album Momentary was born of a desire to explore and connect the worlds of 90’s rave music with the intimacy and charm of older Japanese RPG soundtracks. He lists various references from dance music (blog house, french house and big beat), as well as an equally long list of Japanese media (.hack//G.U. Trilogy, Noiseman Sound Insect and Serial Experiments Lain OST - Cyberia Mix).

The album opens with ‘Face Your Fears’, an artificial outdoor piece featuring carefully placed digital choruses and strings. Tracks like ‘Metropolis’ and ‘Jack and the Rave’ bring forth ambient house influence, a mixture of digitally squashed 90s samples alongside lush, evolving pad synths. ‘We Are’ and ‘Jack and the Rave’ break the immersion with pounding percussive grooves, whilst the digital and analog textures still shine through. Skeith’s love of catchy melodic lines repeated to oblivion are most on display on ‘Where Do We Go From Here’ and ‘Need U’, before the album bookends with the glittering ‘Thinking in 3D’.

“I find there's so much interesting texture and detail in things that sound ‘crappy’. In particular, Romplers have this sort of in-between quality to them where they fail at recreations of real world sounds and being synths but find this middle ground that feels so unique and special. The majority of the album sounds either came from recording my Korg TR-Rack or from various 90's sample cds.

I think the ideal listening place would be somewhere you’re comfortable and able to be immersed in the album as its own journey or world, something to get lost inside and explore.”
